So i knew id have postpartum cramps, but im starting to get concerned. DD is almost 2 months old now (in 3 days) and im still having bad cramps. Before having her i never had menustral cramps. And im not even sure thats what these are (im not bleeding) But i cramp daily, its pretty uncomfortable and like pretty constantly there too. Anyone else? Should i be concerned, or just kind of waive it away? lol

I didn't have that happen to me. I had minor cramping on and off during the post partum bleeding and once that went away the cramping went away until I was on my period again. So here is a bump for you and hopefully someone else can be more helpful.

Are you breastfeeding? My daughter is 4 months and I still have random cramping sometimes when she nurses. Sometimes ill cramp after she eats and then like an hour later..I'll start spotting. Doctor said it was normal so I just ignore it now.

yes but the cramping never stops! and it doesnt get worse when im feeding her either. So i dont understand that, but maybe that could be it.
